Kamiki Sakura Wood Cedar Cask 750ml

Kamiki Sakura Wood is a blended Japanese malt whisky finished in casks made from Japanese cedar and cherry (sakura) wood, an unusual finishing choice outside the ex-sherry and mizunara casks more commonly used in Japanese whisky. The cedar and cherry wood impart aromatics closer to incense and blossom than the vanilla and spice typical of oak, giving the whisky a genuinely distinctive character. Expect delicate floral and woody aromatics layered over the base malt whisky's own sweetness, with a lighter, more aromatic profile than a heavily sherried Japanese whisky. It's a novelty-forward release built for whisky drinkers curious about unconventional cask finishing.

How to drink Kamiki Sakura Wood

Sip it neat to catch the cedar and cherry wood aromatics fully — that unusual finishing is the entire reason to reach for this bottle, and ice will mute it. Give it a few minutes in the glass before the first sip.
